Eukaryotic AUG initiation contexts consist of a broad range of nucleotide patterns associated with distinct biological functions.

In eukaryotes, translation initiation is extensively modulated by cis-regulatory sequences located on the mRNA along with trans-acting factors which influence the lifetime of the codon-anticodon interaction in the P site of the scanning 43S complex and eventually control ribosome assembly. Here, we analyzed sequences a...
